    Not personally, but I've read a few interesting articles of people who can make as much in a week through selling on ebay as they would in a month of selling in shops.

    It seems logical enough, if you have a shop then people have to come to you and browse. There's only a certain number of people in the shop's catchment area. Whereas selling online makes your merch available to everyone with access and there's the added bonus of them not having to leave the house!!

    I made an attempt at one time to pay for a holiday, it was a lot of hard work, and in my opinion not really worth the effort. Msde a profit of about £500 over 3 months.

    (pint) Yes, a friend of mine packed in his job.

    Now sells on ebay selling Power tools etc. Making twice the money now he did in his job and works half the time. Therefore his golf handicap has much reduced

    I've been told

    but not sure on teh accuarcy that e-bay users will shortly have to supply their NI numbers to e0bay so the IR can see who is earning a living and who is just selling for fun...
